[QUOTE="brassnautilus, post: 2351867, member: 74300"]Sure, but average lot cost isn't $1,000, and from the numbers shown they don't charge a flat $20 extra. You can do some research, the loss rate is actually less than 1%, and this included tiers lower than registered mail so the loss rate for base level traced option is not even close to 1%. In 2012 I was hit with 6 packages loss in 2 month period, all from Germany, out of maybe 15,20? I mean actually lost, none of those reached me later. That was freaky, but it doesn't change the ratio. My business ships around 500 packages a day with USPS and we experience less than 0.2% loss. I can guarantee you zumbly the cost of shipping is $5 or less. You have already verified the shipping was not expedited, or it wouldn't had taken a week to get to Singapore. Fact is, only the opposite is out of the ordinary. G&N/pecunem, all they did was choosing shipping method according to what they had billed. 3 day fedex international every time, it costs them $10-15 a package, why do you think this isn't commonplace practice among these sellers?[/QUOTE]
